upload video files of different formats

ian111

I would like to upload video of different extensions like mpeg, mp4, mpg, wmv, avi to the server.
Currently only .avi extension is allowed.

THe main file which verifies the extension is below well part of the code..........



if ( ( strlen( strstr( $_FILES[file_video][type], "video" ) ) )
	&&  ( strlen( strstr( strtolower( $_FILES[file_video][name] ), "$video_ext" ) ) )
    && move_uploaded_file( $_FILES[file_video][tmp_name], "$video_file.$video_ext" ) )
{

how do I tweak the strlen verification to allow different file type extensions to be uploadED.

It could be the mp4 files you're trying to upload are larger than upload_max_filesize.

I have definately checked and increased the file size limit. So that is not the issue.
Also different formats of the same size as the mp4 file upload easily.
So I donot think file size is any issue. as they are hardly about 500kb and the default in php.ini is 2 megabytes anyway. But i have increase that limit in the php file and the php.ini settings.
Thanks for your help.

I am able to upload all video formats after the php tweak on my local host but cannot do the same while I tried to upload them to my freebsd5 server. the php.ini and apache mime types seem to be ok.
any suggestion would be great
